A bridge breaker for progressing cavity pumps

| By Chemical Engineering

Netzsch Mohnopumpen

The aBP-Module (photo) is an intelligent feeding system for progressing cavity pumps for the prevention of bridging. It consists of a top hopper with two inner spoked wheels, which create the effect of moving hopper walls that impart a shearing effect in the medium. The speed difference of the independently adjustable spoked wheels creates the required shearing effect, thereby preventing bridging inside the hopper. The structured surface of the spoked wheels further supports product agitation. — Netzsch Mohnopumpen GmbH, Waldkraiburg, Germany
